Peraza is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Peraza has played regularly since rejoining the Yankees in late August, but he will be held out for a second day in a row with manager Aaron Boone turning to his left-handed hitters against Boston righty Kutter Crawford.

Kieboom is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Kieboom will take a seat for the second time in three days while the Nationals make room at third base for Ildemaro Vargas. With Kieboom turning in a modest .610 OPS in 15 games since his call-up from Triple-A Rochester in late August and with the switch-hitting Vargas offering a potential strong-side platoon option, Kieboom could see his opportunities against right-handed pitching take a hit as the season winds down.

Rosario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to Houston.

Rosario accounted for one of two San Diego runs in the contest with his 409-foot solo shot in the seventh inning. It was the first major-league homer for the 24-year-old, who went deep five times over 43 games with Triple-A El Paso before being called up last Friday. Rosario homered 22 times and stole 21 bases across 124 contests in Triple-A last season. He could get a decent look down the stretch with the Padres fading further out of contention for a playoff spot.

Moncada (knee) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Moncada aggravated a knee injury Saturday and was held out Sunday, but that was apparently all he needed to put the issue behind him. He will man the hot corner and hit fifth Monday night.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Since being acquired from Oakland on July 31, Peterson has mostly served as a strong-side platoon option at third base, but he'll likely have to settle for more of a utility role moving forward. With both second baseman Ketel Marte (knee) and shortstop Jordan Lawlar (hand) back in the lineup Monday after one-game absences, Peterson will retreat to the bench after he manned the keystone Sunday. Geraldo Perdomo has seemingly supplanted Peterson as the Diamondbacks' preferred option at third base.

Diaz went 2-for-5 with an RBI single and a double in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

Diaz produced his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 1, the last game before he fell into a 3-for-20, seven-game funk. The rookie snapped out of it to an extent Sunday with a performance that included his fourth extra-base hit and RBI of September. Diaz did whiff two more times, however, pushing his strikeout rate to 36.7 percent since the start of the month.

Sosa is out of the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Sosa went 4-for-18 with a home run, a stolen base, two RBI and three runs while making five starts in the Phillies' past seven games, but he'll be back on the bench for the first game of Monday's twin bill. Despite the uptick in playing time of late, Sosa still looks to be viewed as a utility man and doesn't have a direct path to an everyday spot in the lineup.

Davis isn't in the lineup for Sunday's game against Colorado, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Davis has been hot recently, going 7-for-17 with two homers, three doubles, five runs and four RBI over the last four matchups. However, he'll get a breather Sunday with Wilmer Flores starting at third base.

Cabbage was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

The 26-year-old was called up by the Angels on Aug. 25 and went 4-for-19 with a double, an RBI, three runs and nine strikeouts in 10 games. Cabbage will now return to Salt Lake, where he has a .307/.372/.595 slash line with 27 homers and 31 steals this season.

Machado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Machado started all 87 games since he returned from a fracture in his left hand in early June, though he's exclusively served as San Diego's designated hitter in September while managing tennis elbow. Matt Carpenter will take over the DH spot Sunday while Eguy Rosario starts at the hot corner.
